eulalia

Eulalia plants (Miscanthus sinensis 'Autumn Light') should be watered deeply once a week in the spring and fall and twice a week in the summer. During the winter months, semi-dormant plants require little to no water. When watering, check the soil for moisture. If it still feels moist, wait until it dries out before adding water. During the growing season, water the soil until it is saturated and you can feel moisture up to 6 inches deep into the soil. Do not water again until the soil has had a chance to dry out.

Eulalia (Miscanthus sinensis 'Autumn Light') requires full sunlight to thrive. It grows best in areas that get at least 6 hours of direct sunlight a day, though it may tolerate some dappled shade during the hottest part of the day. In cooler northern climates, it may take up to 8 hours of direct sunlight to grow properly. To get the best results from your eulalia, make sure it is in a spot that is in direct sunlight most of the day, particularly during the cooler months of the year when it needs the most light.

When pruning Miscanthus sinensis 'Autumn Light' (Eulalia), aim to do minimal pruning by only removing dead, dying or damaged foliage or stems. In the spring, prune back the shoot tips to remove the previous year’s growth and encourage branching. In the summer, trim to encourage new, fresh growth; however, don't do this too drastically as it will reduce flowering. In the autumn, you can trim any stems that have reached the maximum height. When possible, leave the tips of the stems on the plant over winter, as this will protect the crown buds from cold temperatures, meaning healthier plants come spring. Overgrown clumps should be divided in the autumn, after flowering has finished. Overall, regular pruning of Eulalia will help to keep your plant looking healthy and neat in the garden.
